Law Meets Literature: A Novel Approach for the English Classroom

By Johnna L Graff, Cynthia Wood Maddux, Gretchen Oltman, et al.

Book Overview

This text was developed by three experienced English teachers, who also happen to be lawyers. The law provides a new dimension to popular literary themes, like justice, fairness and equality. These legal documents will enhance the discussion in the English/Language Arts classroom. With the Common Core State Standards' emphasis on incorporating primary documents of historical and literary significance, literature teachers have more opportunity than ever to use case law and other legal documents as texts.
